Beauty and the Beast
(2017)
Directed by Bill
Condon this film which stars Emma Watson, Dan Stevens and Luke Evans
is live action adaptation of Disney's previous animated version. A
peasant girl from a small village in faux France is locked up in the
castle of an aristocrat cursed into beast form.
This is a very safe
adaptation of previously existing material that manages to avoid some
of the pitfalls in the original folk tale. The relationship between
the two central characters is always difficult to handle but I think
this version does a decent job. Of course the highlight of the film
is Emma Watson but largely the film is as you would expect it to be.
3/5
